Are there no doors?

Not on this carriage. This is called a hard sleeper, and it is the cheapest. There are soft sleeper carriages with doors

The old geezer in the bunk above me is doing some demonic farts. It’s actually pretty awful

I love the idea of sleeping on a train but the one time I did it I got woken up regularly by all the stopping and starting each time we got to a station.

Impressive!

AnnaFrankfurter, w Railway electrification of India by State in 2024

Sorry to be a buzzkill but ~70% of India’s electricity is coming from coal powerplants. They are working on using nuclear and renewable but still currently it is mostly coal.

zemon,

Might still be better for the environment overall than running trains on oil. I don’t know if any study exists on the topic.

AnnaFrankfurter,

I’m not sure about efficiency of oil engines vs electric engines but at least infrastructure is already available and once India switches to nuclear/renewable it’ll help massively…

glowing_hans,

Coal fired plants are more energy and heat efficient than internal combustion engines on trains. Waste heat can be used for industrial areas. Also the pollution is localized and heavy duty filters can be installed, while the train can not carry heavy filters without worse transport efficiency.

Wow that’s amazing. Only like 60% of German rail is electrified, for comparison.

Good shit

turtle, w Rep. Steube Introduces Make Autorail Great Again Act to Rebrand DC Metrorail as WMAGA and Trump Train

Hey, if it would make them support rail transport to the max I would be all for them naming it whatever they want, but I somehow suspect that that’s not the case here.

reagansrottencorpse, w Rep. Steube Introduces Make Autorail Great Again Act to Rebrand DC Metrorail as WMAGA and Trump Train

What the fuck, this is insanity.

Yuup. Trump wants his name on everything.

Eldorado, w Coaster double-deck coaches unveiled

Alstom

Into the trash it goes. Especially their new HSR doubledeckers with “”“wheelchair accessibility”“”.

smitty825, w Coaster double-deck coaches unveiled

I live in San Diego and follow the local public transportation scene and this is the first I’ve heard of these new cars. It’s not even featured on their news page! gonctd.com/about-nctd/newsroom/

Odd. It seems like Coaster did order new coaches back in 2020, according to Rail Journal.

litchralee, w Court rejects VTA request for order to end strike for technical reasons

For reference, the letter written to the Governor of California is to invoke the provisions of Government Code 3612, which if used would cause an automatic 1 week cooling-off period so a Board of Investigation can convene and gather facts for the Governor. At that point, if the Governor concludes from those facts that significant transit disruption would occur, or there is a risk to public safety or welfare, the cooling off period can be extended by court order up to 60 days.

This proviso in law appears to have been added in 2012, as a trailer bill off the end of that year’s Budget, that reorganized some parts of the state government.

MajorHavoc, w Legislator Calls For State to Sell Alaska Railroad

This sure smells like corruption.

This may be literally life of death for some affected persons. A lot of folks in Alaska could die if deprived of a public option for transportation of goods they rely on for survival.

If a private railway is a good capitalist idea, let’s let the magic hand of capitalism provide a new separate private line.

Maintaining a public option is common sense economics. The market can add more options, if there’s actually real value being missed, but the rest of us can still vote against it with our time and energy when it tries to enshitify.

@tonytins@pawb.social avatar

That’s why I had to put it out there. It is extremely vital for many in that region.

MajorHavoc,

Thank you.
